A company produces packets of soap powder labeled "Giant Size 32 Ounces." The actual weight of soap powder in such a box has a N

ormal distribution with a mean of 33 oz and a standard deviation of 0.7 oz. To avoid having dissatisfied customers, the company says a box of soap is considered underweight if it weighs less than 32 oz. To avoid losing money, it labels the top 5% (the heaviest 5%) overweight. What proportion of boxes is underweight (i.e., weigh less than 32 oz)? .9236 .0764 .2420 .7580

Answer:

0.0764

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 33, \sigma = 0.7

What proportion of boxes is underweight (i.e., weigh less than 32 oz)?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 32. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{32 - 33}{0.7}

Z = -1.43

Z = -1.43 has a pvalue of 0.0764, which is the correct answr

Find the product: (x² - x + 1)(2x² + 3x + 2).
Tresset [83]

Answer:

(2x^3-2x^2-12x) is the required product.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is:

2x(x-3)(x+2)

Solving the above given equation, we get

=(2x^2-6x)(x+2)

which can be written as:

=(2x^3-6x^2+4x^2-12x)

Solving the like terms, we get

=(2x^3-2x^2-12x)

which is the required product of the given expression.

the system of equatuions 2y = 14 - 2x and y= -x+7 is graphed. what is the solution to the system of equations
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

the solution is the whole line y = -x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

both equations are identical

2y = 14 - 2x

=> y = 7 - x

which is exactly the same information as y=-x+7

so, there is no single crossing point. they are exactly covering each other. what "remains" is simply the whole line.

6x + 11 = 21<br> Help I’m on a quiz and this question is so confusing
Westkost [7]

Answer:

Step by Step Solution

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    6*x+11-(21)=0  

Step by step solution :

STEP

1

:

Pulling out like terms

1.1     Pull out like factors :

  6x - 10  =   2 • (3x - 5)  

Equation at the end of step

1

:

STEP

2

:

Equations which are never true:

2.1      Solve :    2   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

2.2      Solve  :    3x-5 = 0  

Add  5  to both sides of the equation :  

                     3x = 5

Divide both sides of the equation by 3:

                    x = 5/3 = 1.667

One solution was found :

x = 5/3 = 1.667
